360 couldnt survive without PC multiplates

Ps3 and Nintendo lack something 360 has. Pc-console games. But lately it seems as if microsoft has been relying a little to heavily on these cross platform games. While it makes sense to own a pc and something like a wii or ps3 It doesn't apper like a good investment to go PC-360 due to the many games made better on pc. For the past 2 years 360 has been lacking in the true exclusive departmentOrigami_Kill3r

Are you kidding me? Microsoft controls both so whats the point?

I don't think PS3 is in the position to criticise...

What would PS3 look like if Sony didn't go on a exclusive buying/developing spree?

No God of War, no Killzone, no Uncharted...

God of War 3, published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Sony's Santa Monica Studio.

Killzone 2, published by Sony and developed by Guerrilla Games; who are owned by Sony.

Uncharted 2, published by Sony and developed by Naughty Dog, who are owned by Sony.

All three games are created and distributed by Sony.

Sony went and bought up several studios and they published/developed a bunch of 1st party games to save the PS3 from drowning in its own filth, what's not to get?

I see a lot of people trying to get technical but fact is that the vast majority of gaming pc's use some form of windows. Not many big time gamers are running out and buying Macs (althought that might change with steam)

so Ms is getting paid with every gaming PC bought.

you are confused into believing that microsoft is putting the 360 and PC into separate competitors.

Without 360/PC games, 360 would be at PS3´s level since it has about the same number of A+ exclusives

You are correct, they couldn't survive without their main business strategy. Who knew?

tempest91

so you are asking if the x360 can survive with half of its exclusives (compared to the PS3)gone. I say : NO, but it's a stupid thing to assume , it's like assuming if the PS3 can survive without the multiplatform games.

[QUOTE="tempest91"]

[QUOTE="ItsBriskBaby"]OK dude what the hell are you even talking about? 1st off Santa Monica, Guerilla, Naughty Dog are 1st party devs. You say one thing then say the opposite. You say Sony bought exclusives and if they didn't we wouldn't have GOW3, etc..., you list them. Now you say Sony created them and there theirs. LOL. What is it? If your going to list Exclusive Developmentthen edit your post. Because as far as I can remember Sony hasn't bought any exclusives.

So, you're saying Sony didn't buy up studios and call on every Sony studio possible to pump out exclusives to save the PS3 from being the laughing stock it was at launch?

Know what I don't get about SW? You guys (mostly cows) act as if multiplats aren't games and the only games worth playing are exclusives. That's not the case bud. BTW, there's a lot of great 360 exclusives that arent on the PC. GeOW 2 Halo 3 Halo Wars Halo ODST Forza 2 Forza 3 Viva Piniata Project Gotham Racing 4 And coming soon: Fable III Halo Reach Alan Wake Yes, your right bud, the 360 has no exclusives. :| BTW, correct me if I'm wrong, but the PS3 isn't exactly in the best position to critisize is it?93soccer

you forgot both crackdowns. and the first saints row. and that kameo game. and pdz :?

Fable III is coming to PC, mark my words.dgsag

I doubt it, remember Lionhead Studios is owned by Microsoft now.

It's quite sad really, it killed the Black and White series. If you look at their game list; you can see the shift in their development after Microsoft bought them.

I'm sure that Lionhead doesn't even want to port it over.SparkyProtocol

Lionhead has released every game they have ever made on PC right up to when Microsoft bought them, I don't think it is a matter of what they want to do.

Fable went to PC tooAnjunaddict

Microsoft didn't own them back then, so they were actually in a position to release their games on any platform they wanted.

Since Microsoft has bought them they have produced nothing but 360 games, so I think saying what Lionhead or "Microsoft Game Studios Europe" does and does not want to do while under Microsoft authority is rather redundant.

Their pre-Microsoft acquisition history more than says they were primarily a PC/Mac developer.

Well luckily it doesn't need to, so there.

well they got crackdown 2, alan wake, halo reach, fable 3 for this year

ME2, splinter cell, metro and the other PC games are just icing on the cake

Yeah, but MS still published the game on the PC. And there were other games that MS was in complete control of that made their way to the PC too, such as Halo and Viva Pinata. MS have obviously changed their strategy since though, they seem to be focusing on the 360 now.Anjunaddict

Knowing typical SW console gamers; they would use these changes to claim that Microsoft has lost faith in PC, never mind the the royalty differences between 360 and PC. The most likely cause is increased competition from Sony, the first year of this gen Microsoft had no competition in the next gen market, then when PS3 released it offered poor competition. Only when Sony started pumping cash into exclusives this gen that Microsoft became far more protective of keeping games exclusive.

[QUOTE="The-Mosher"][QUOTE="badtaker"] Still PC gamers cry for Halo, Fable and Alan Wake.badtaker

The situation is somewhat similar with Fable 2.

Alan Wake is the only one some PC gamers wanted(me included),but still far from being unanymous.
